Thought for Today: “Pain is weakness leaving the body”
“In my law enforcement training, I used to hear this over and over from my Drill Sergeants, ‘Pain is weakness leaving the body’. It didn’t take me long to really grasp what that meant! Pain truly is weakness leaving the body; the pain you feel in training is no fun, but you can handle it and you will grow from it, emotionally and physically.  After progressive overload in your workouts, you will find you can take a whole lot more! So don’t give up! Keep striving towards your fitness goals.” – Joy Booker
